This book provides a wide-ranging and in-depth reappraisal of the
relation between Marx’s economic theory in Capital and Hegel’s Logic by
leading Marxian economists and philosophers from around the world. The
subjects dealt with include: systematic dialectics, the New Dialectics,
materialism vs. idealism, Marx’s ‘inversion’ of Hegel, Hegel’s Concept
logic (universality-particularity-singularity), Hegel’s Essence logic
(essence-appearance), Marx’s levels of abstraction of capital in general
and competition, and capital as Hegelian Subject.

The papers in
this volume were originally presented at the 22nd annual meeting of the
International Symposium on Marxian Theory at Mount Holyoke College in
August 2011. The twelve authors are divided between seven economists and
five philosophers, as is fitting for the interdisciplinary subject of
the relation between Marx’s economic theory and Hegel’s logic.
